Wikijunior talk:Languages/French

Hi. I'm a new user, so not sure if this is the right place to make notes. But I wanted to point out some corrections that need to be made to the map of where French is spoken. It looks like you've left out Rwanda and Burundi in Africa (both have French as an official languages, see CIA factbook: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/by.html, though I don't know how you have made the distinction between native and administrative territories.)  These are just the first changes I noticed right away. Will look more closely and see if there are other omissions. Sarah

Pronunciation
I feel on the computerised version, you should be able to click on the French words to hear them being pronounced, which would be very helpful for children.

Usage of the term 'America'
In a context referring to colonisation, it would be strongly preferable not to refer to present-day United States of America or Anglo-America simply as "America". One might argue that for children, one wishes to write as simply as possible, but this vague use may take its toll later (e.g. confusing readers into thinking that English is spoken on the whole continent). A native English speaker may please rectify the situation. 81.182.216.88 10:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
